EXPORTING HACKMEN.

The victim of unwarranted extorton calls
the GLOBES attention to the raid made bv
the hackmen last night on our carnival Wis
itors by eXtortionate charges for hack hire.
the charges ranging from five to ten dollars
an hour for hacks and from four to six dol
lars for hansoms. These hackmen hold
their license under city ordinance which
limits the charge for hack hire to one dollar
and fifty cents per hour up to ten o'clock at
night. The same ordinance Furthermore
requires the number of each hack to
be posted in conspicuous place on
the vehicle. Any violation of the
ordinance will result in revocation of the
license upon complaint being made to the
mayor or acting mayor in addition to the
right to recover damages fIom the owner of
the hack. The GLOBE gives publicity to
these facts for the protection of strangers
who are visiting st. Paul at this time for
the purpose of enjoying the carnival and
not for the purpose of being robbed. The
reputation of the city is at stake in this
matter, and the municipal authorities
should use due diligence in sustaining it.

Carnival Notes.

One of the most novel and attractive dis
plays made Ivy a business house was that
made by G. S. Gannett q Co.. on West Third
street. A hugh fireplace of ice blocks, Or
namented with brass scuttles, CRATES, etc,
was built at the edge of the street in front of
the store In the fireplace burned all after
noon and evening a CHEEKY fire of hickory
logs. The unique display attracted universal
attention and admiration.
q The Columbia Snow Shoe club will meet at
the Merchants hotel tomorrow at 1880 for a
run to Merriam Park. From those who will
make the run twenty-five will be selected by
the executive committee to compete with the

race to take place as early as can be arranged
for.

SUING UNCLE SAM.

The bill passed by the lower house of
congress last week, providing for bringing
suit against the United States government,
is one of the most useful pieces of legisla-
ton that congress has INDUCED in for long
time. The bill provides that the court of
claims shall have jurisdiction over all claims
founded on the constitution of the United
States, such as just compensation for property
taken for public use. and over all damages
hquidated or unliquidated, upon the single
condition that the party would be entitled
to redress against the United States in a
court of law, equity or admiralty, if the
United States were suable. The bill also
includes the district and circuit couris
of the United States. comforting
on them jurisdiction concurrent with
that conferred on the court of claims in
cases where the money value does not ex-
coed $40, 900. In all cases the right of ap-
peal TO the supreme court is secured to each
party. independent of the value of this
legislation in enabling persons who
hold claims against the government to
ltigate in the courts, its chief Importance is
in relieving congress of mass of work that
clogs legislation each session. Three
fourths of the time of every congress is
taken up in private the consideration of
bills for the relief of parties against whom
the courts are closed. 1t has come to pass
owing to the multitude of private bills Oh
the calendar, that the functions of congress
are virtually reduced to the jurisdiction of
justice of the peace-hearing evidence and
granting judgment on small bills. and ac-
counts which have been filed against Uncle
Sam. The worst feature of it is that in
many instances meritoriouS claimants are
ruled out, while those who have been skill
full in the employment of lobby methods
succeed.
The bill possesses an additional value in
that it is the first step in abolishing the fos-
SLATED idea that it is beneath the dignity of
a government to be sued III one of its courts.
This absurd idea is relic of colonial days
when our forefathers were not wholly
Invested of the notion of divinity that
hedges rulers. If the people of this country
can be sued individually, there is no reason
why they should not be sued collectively
The government is nothing more than the
people group. Uncle Sam is nothing more
than the representative of the whole people,
and if he owes debt ought to be made to
pay it by the same processes that other
people are subjected to.

THE FREED IEy,s RANK

1t seems that. in the legislative parlance
OF the third house, there is ''snake'' in the
measure recently before congress proposing
To pay the Freedmen's bank depositors the
full amount of their claims remaining I'M
paid. grand total which would require
over million dollars to be distracted from
the treasury. 1t is. of course, only in the
line of justice that the duped depositors
should have restitution made them for
losses due to no fault of theirs, and which
occurred through their blind confidence in
governmental Endorsements of the institu-
ton to which they intrusted the care of
their little savings. But it is not at all
clear that the original depostors would be
benefited in the least by the appropriation
proposed. Most of the depositors, despair
ing OF justice or unable to wait for years
for the money vitality needed, have sold
their claims at ruinous discount to specu-
Iators. These, in fact, hold perhaps all
but few thousand dollars of the amount
OF the original deposits. To their activity
and influence is due the tardy attempt at
what on the surface looks like Justice to
the freedmen. but what is merely Iegisla-
tive means of enabling the spectators to
realize upon their holdings. If congress
wants to render their scheme successful.
and line the pockets OF few shrewd men
who care as much for the freedmen as
they do for the natives of the Congo basin,
it will pass the bill appropriating this large
sum of money. But the Democratic MEM
berS, at least, cannot afford to do so.

MEETING OF THE DRoMGos.

Notwithstanding Minnesota enjoys the
distinction of having dromio governors. it is
a singular fact that these two distinguished
gentlemen had never been brought into per-
sonal contact, and did not enjoy personal
acquaintance until last Wednesday evening.
when they were seated together at the ban
Quet board of the Ryan hotels reception to
the Knights of the Carnival Grip. 1t seems
almost incredible that two gentlemen of so
much political distinction, living. too. in
adjoining cities for number Of years. and
opposing candidates for the exalted Office of
governor of the commonwealth in the most
exciting and holly contested election ever
known in the state, should never have met.
And yet Cows. AMES and MCGILI. had
never had an introduction when they met
on the aforementioned evening. When
the fact was made known TO a party of gen
tlemen who were seated at the table, an az
rangement was made by which formal
and public introduction should be had
When the men whose names are better
known to the people of this state than any

THE BOUNCING NUISANCE.

A lumber of complaints have recently
been lodged with the GLOBE concerning the
too profuse practice of bouncing INDUCED in
by the carnival clubs. The gravamen of the
complaint is that the practice is dangerous
to human life and in violation of law. The
GLOBE recognizes the force of the COM
plant, but as the custom has grown into
use through the indulgence of a spirit of
innocent amusement. and has almost grown
into an essential feature of the carnival
sports, we have refrained from abiding to
the matter. But since it is made known
that an over-indulgence of the bouncing
business is likely to interfere with the sue
cess of the carnival. it is proper, at least, to
make public mention of it. 1t is repre-
scented that the enthusiasm of our own
people has been, to marked degree, abated
by their disgust for this feature of the car
nival sport. and that strangers have been
deferred from visiting the city during the
carnival season because of what they have
heard of the dangers of the bounce and the
liability of every visitor being subjected to
its elevating processes. People who put
on their good clothes and go out for a holi-
day don't feel exactly in the mood to be
picked up at every street corner and whirled
twenty or thirty feet into the air
at the imminent risk of having a limb or
the neck broken when they come down.
Leaving the dangerous feature out of view,
it is an extremely humiiating thing for a
stranger to be subjected to. Our own peo-
pie. who understand and appreciate the
spirit in which it is done. are relieved of the
humiliation, if not the risk to limb and life.
but strangers do not see it in that light.
The possibilities are that somebody will be
killed, as some have already been seriously
injured, and then the bouncing will stop.
But 1t Will be too late then. The perpe-
traitors of the bounce do not realize that
they are violatorS of the law and that they
are liable to arrest every time they toss an
individual in blanket. In one instance a
mail carrier had his mail pouch taken from
him while the postman made sport for the
boys by gyratiDg in mid air. 1t was a
funny scene for the spectators vet, if
Uncle Sam was disposed to enforce his
power in the premises, it would be a very
serious matter for the bouncers A little
nonsense now and then is relished by the
best of men, but when amusements involve
a violation OF the laws. an invasion of per-
sonal rights and risk to life, it is time
that the lines should be drawn.

occasion of no comment, and his advocacy

disapproval of the church to which he owns

GEORGE was of immense value to the lat
ter The American idea has always been
that religion and politics should be entirely
divorced. The participation by clergy
man of whatever denomination in party
strife has always been viewed with dis
favor. and always should be.
AS citizens and voters clergymen have, of
course, the right of conscience, the privi-
lege of voting and holding such opinions as
they see fit the same as laymen. but in
active political work it is moral impossi-
bility for the religious element to be entirely
disassocated from the purely civil aspect of
their conduct. 1t was so in Dr. MCGIYNN's
case, as it has been so in that of every
clergyman who ever unbent from the
dignity of his priestly. character to mingle
with the very material world of politics.
Without regard to the inherent right or
wrong of the political principles they may
advocate, clergymen should recognize non
participation in active politics as one CT the
duties consequent upon their clerical posi-
ton. In that way only can they preserve
the respect which the sanctity of their
holy Office demands and refrain from exert

Wholesale asoG STEALING.
over $500 POr.ers Appropriated
bya Soap Nleker.


bya Soap Meker.
CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-A case of hog stealing
on grand scale, said to have been carried on
for the past two years, came to
light to-day by the arrest of
the parties who are alleged to
have done the work. 1t is claimed that dur
ing that time no less than $500 hogs have
been taken from the trains of the Chicago &
Northwestern road, aggregating in
value between $4,000 and $4,000.
Dennis McCurl. proprietor of
soap factory on Western avenue, his son,
Dennis, Jr.. and five of the employees of the
establishment, named August Henry, Alfred
King, Farrell O'Reily, John Regain, and
Thomas Sullivan, comprise the list of
those arrested i'll the case. The
plan of the robbers was to board
a stock train at a railroad crossing
or other stopping point and enter
ing one of the cars, remain there until the
train was under Roadway. Opening
the door of the car, three or
four hogs could be thrown Off
in short order and uuobserved the thieves
would themselves alight. The country through
which the read passes on the western out
skirts of the city is so deserted that the
scheme was never EXP Osed until the detective
had worked Gpon the case for some time.
Finally suspicion settled on McCurl and his
men, People in the neighborhood of the
factory began to suspect that the
proprietor was getting rich too fast
McCurl has been doing a thriving business
supplying the large hotels with great quaint
ties of soap which, it is now charged, was
made from the stolen hogs.
